Bake Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

8-12 slices of bacon (1 standard size package-about 1/2 pound) thawed and crisply fried and crumbled
1 cup shredded Colby Jack or cheddar cheese
1/2 cup red bell pepper (about 1/2 of a pepper)

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Fry your bacon in a frying pan on medium-to medium-high heat or in the microwave until the bacon is very crisp and easy enough to crumble. Drain on paper towel and cool until you are able to handle the bacon.

Step 7: Grease a 9 or 10-inch pie plate or quiche baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Layer half of the crumbled bacon, red, yellow, and green bell pepper and the colby jack cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the dish. Repeat with the remaining half of bacon, peppers and cheese.
